Daihatsu Terios (97-05) - Review Review by Parkers on 01 January 1997 As a tiny off-roader, the Terios is not really suited to the roads of the UK. It isn't a competent on-road performer like the RAV-4, and yet it can't cope with much more than a muddy track, either. The narrow body and high seating position are useful in town, but it isn't able to deliver much in the way of performance. Perhaps the only thing in its favour is Daihatsu's claim that it has the cleanest emissions of any 4x4. 1.5 out of 5 Other Daihatsu reviews Summary Facts & Figures Equipment Driving & Performance Comfort Costs Safety & Reliability Buying & Selling Also Consider Company Car Info Owners' Reviews Gallery 1.5 out of 5 Performance Just the one - a 1.3 with 82bhp. It gets to 60mph in a lethargic 16.1s and to a top speed of 91mph. At least the fuel consumption is better: 36.7 mpg on the Combined cycle. Adequate around town, but complains at motorway speeds. Models after 2000 are less strained. View full gallery 1.5 out of 5 Handling Lack of a high/low ratio gearbox limits off-road ability and it's not powerful enough for serious towing. On-road grip is good, but the ride is poor - it's choppy on all but the smoothest roads. Over rougher surfaces, it's almost painful. Little feedback from the limp steering. The gearchange is ponderous. View full gallery Car Valuations Find used car prices with Parkers accurate car valuations.
